Several Caribbean Heads of State joined French President Francois Hollande in Guadeloupe on Sunday 10 May 2015 to inaugurate Guadeloupe Islands’ Mémorial ACTe – a cultural center dedicated to the Memory and History of the Slave Trade. The Memorial ACTe is part of UNESCO’s Slave Route Project, a global initiative to promote the rapprochement of people through the shared legacy of this tragedy.
